Working on a program

I have been away from the hacking scene for some time now. A while back a buddy of mine informed me about a article he read. It stated that microsofts windows xp had a flaw that when you changed something in a certain string(change its value) that pressing certain buttons would blue screen crash the system. I have grown bored and realize that all summer I have not yet made a single program or hacked anything so before i go back to school in 3 weeks i am gonna do so. I have to learn a code in less than 3 weeks. I must then apply this knowledge to make a source that when ran will do whats needed. The following is what I must be able to do with the code: start regedit goto a specific string and create a new DWORD value for ie modify the value to be 1 reboot the computer immitate pressing AND holding a few keys

I have thought about using vb.net. Can anyone tell me if this would be usuable for this project? If you know a better code for the job, please speak up! And whatever code you tell me please show me what is needed to do so. I have dial up but can get to a high speed computer to do the downloads for anything (I have been looking for a working vb.net for sometime now) please make sure you tell me where to find a way to use the code in a program so i may do this. thanks ahead of time!

immitate pressing AND holding a few keys Could you expand on that please?

As for the rest of it, you could use a batch file. It can add/modify registry values and reboot the computer. Read the CMD help for the "reg" command and the "shutdown" command.

It has to imitate the right shift key being held down and the scroll lock key to be pressed 2 times. I know batch does that, as i am very experienced at batch code. I dont think it can press buttons though :xx:

Nope, it can't press buttons. You could try in C++ though. It has a system() function that excecutes batch commands. You might be able to emulate pressing buttons in that, but I'm not very good at it so I can't help you there.

mastergamer, I think I am gonna go with VB since i already know alot about .NET and its easier to learn. It also is able to run batch files within the .NET code so thats pretty good. I am gonna go ahead and staryt on the batch code now since I dont have a .NET to use(please find me a download!). I havent worked with batch in a while so I was wondering if someone could help me out here. The main part of the code is that I need it to create a new DWORD value and modify the value to be 1. I can do the rest of the code, I just need some info on who to do this or where to possibly find this code knowledge. thanks again!

Use google. It came up with this: http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&hs=cSS&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:nl:official&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=edit+registry+with+batch&spell=1

*edit: the URL tags won't work :@

Wow, thats alot. I looked at some but didns see anything, and I am tired so i will finish later. I thought about deleting the string then making the exact same one only modify it to what I need in it, but I dunno what wil hapen if that string is gone for that less than split second. Any thoughts? any help is appreciated!

shell shutdown -s …

regedit

go to www.vbmania.com.br register yourself in and you'll get all sources you need.

hope this helps you out buddy.

Hmm, ever hear of sendkeys? works wonders!

Also, read the langauge documentation before you post next time, okay?

holmes- thanks man, but what does that code do exactly?

newtype- nope, never heard of sendkeys. what is it? and what do you mean by language documentation?

shutdown is a program made by M$ to simply make your pc to shutdown ..

it can be finded in %systemroot%\system32\shutdown.exe

This will lead you to it.

the comands are sended in tags; like the most DOS programs and batch files. You can simply execute or Run : shutdown -s -t [T] to shutdown you pc within [T] seconds..

about the documents.. I'm sorry they are in another language than in english.. I used that site with visualbasic.. It helps a lot to people who need codes and something like batch and other coding skills.

Holmes- that link you gave me didnt work for me. I know shutdown and all of that stuff, I just need to know how to set the new DWORD Value then modify the value to 1. thanks again!

For batch, this is how you add stuff in the registry.

reg add locaion /v name /t type /d data/value example: reg add HKLU/Software /v regit /t REG_SZ /d %systemroot%

now for this do you mean press the buttons during the boot up ? if so i dont think it can be done with a vb application but i could be wrong

how would I create a DWORD value for a string and name it "something" then modify the value to 1?

and the button pressing doesnt have to happen until the computer is started up and on desktop screen.
